My wife tells me that at just before six AM, we were very foggy. I am glad that I missed that.
A couple of hours later when I wandered out for the newspaper, there were hints of the fog still floating in the air.
There was more than a hint of coolness in the air this morning. We were down to 51F. I will be curious to see if the water temperature takes another dive.
It looks like we will get our first taste of the thirties this Friday night. I might have to cover my tomato plants. My plants have a number of green tomatoes on them. There is one tomato that should be ready to pick today. That will be the third tomato off of the plants that I put in the ground on August 22.
The moon was still hanging just below a branch of one of the big pine trees this morning. It was one of those special Crystal coast mornings where you have to search for clouds.
I am guessing we will see high tides again today. Yesterday, the waters surrounded my small cedar tree and started approaching my banana tree. The cedar does not seem to care, but I lost a banana tree to salt water last year.
The tides were as high as I have seen them this year. They actually got to within a foot or so of the top of our dock.
According to my tide information they should drop very slightly. Yesterday I would have been very easy to launch my kayak. The grassy area that I use was almost all under water.
High tide here on the river should come by 11 AM.
Looks like a great day, I might even get some time on the water. I would certainly like to catch this evening's sunset. I can hope it was as nice as last nights.
